Anybody got a Oxford first time strap on tank bag? Laughing

Bought one the other day from a tosser on ebay who is very unhelpful.

Cant work out how to fit the damn thing!

I guess one set of straps loop under the seat but I cant see how it attaches at the yoke. There is nothing for it to clip onto.

Advise?

Thinking

Well, I THINK I've got the same as you. On my bike, the magnets will go down onto the tank and the top strap will go around the ehadstock of the bike with just about the right amount of tightness so that it doesn't affect the steering. Thumbs Up

Haven't needed the under tank strap myself. Of course, I have used the bunjees to atttach to either my undertray or frame, on both left and right hand sides of the tankbag Thumbs Up

I'm sure if you email oxford procuts, they'll let you know. They had to re-issue the tail pack instructions after it was shown unclear how to secure it to the bike and caused a female rider's death.

/dissapointed.. Sad

I'd imagine they strap under the tank?

You could try e-mailing oxford and asking for instructions, maybe telling them somebody is selling knockoff fake ones on e-bay Twisted Evil

If it is a magnetic one he will have major problems as the FZR "tank" is a plastic cover.

All the best

Richard, if you can't find any info on it, I'm sure I can send you on the installation cd's you get when you buy them new (especially with that fran woman presenting on the dvd Twisted Evil )

And if I can't find them, the proper instructions for them Thumbs Up

Its not a magnetic, hence being known as a 'strap-on'!

At the front ent there is just a male and female clip, no strap to tighten around anything. Im sure im missing something as the clips will barely close when not on the bike.

There are fitting guidelines on their website. Check out the menu on the right hand side of their homepage.

Good Luck

Weird Keith, my sisters FZR600 had a metal tank. I remember the T509 having a plastic one though.

I can confirm with Keith that his FZR has a plastic tank. Laughing
After I put my tankbag onto the tank on Monday, and me wondering why it wouldn't stick! Laughing

Also on the front of the strap on ones, my Cargo Endurance ones, straps on with plastic straps that are on the bottom of the tankbag they attach like D Ring helmet doodahs.
